Does a bad mood cause irregular menstruation?

Patient's question:

I am currently in university, studying law. The practice is very exhausting, which has been making me feel quite down, and I often get angry with my boyfriend. In the past two months, I've noticed that my menstrual cycle has become very irregular, with periods occurring every 40 days. I want to ask if my bad mood could be causing this irregularity?

Doctor's answer:

If you often feel bad and get angry, it can have a certain impact on the normal onset of menstruation. It may easily lead to delayed menstruation and trigger the recurrence of menstrual disorders. Additionally, this is not the only factor that can affect normal menstruation. It may also be directly related to endocrine issues or gynecological diseases. Therefore, for your situation, I recommend first paying attention to your mood and avoiding getting angry before further evaluation.
Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
